    This is how Dallas young professionals can live the golf course life

    Jennifer Chininis

    A planned residential community soon will debut in Las Colinas, designed to appeal to young professionals searching for a golf course lifestyle. Vue Las Colinas, a new offering from Darling Homes, will feature three customizable housing options, including one that’s debuting specifically for this project.

    All told, Vue has 129 home sites near the Four Seasons Resort & Club at Las Colinas, and 37 of those are situated along the TPC golf course.

    According to a release, Vue offers “the perfect blend of luxury and outdoor livability.” Housing options start with traditional, single-family homes, i.e., one- and two-story abodes on bigger lots. There are six floorplans, ranging from 2,075 to 3,225 square feet, and prices start in the mid-$400,000s.

    Next option is what Darling calls “villa-style.” The higher-density detached abodes sit on smaller lots but have privacy fences so you can’t see everything your neighbor is doing — or, perhaps more important, they can’t see you. They range in size from 2,355 to 2,622 square feet and start in the $400,000s.

    The exclusive-to-Vue style is a three-story “urban” home, also detached, which is the one you want to maximize the view.

    “Vue Las Colinas is the first community to debut three-story homes for [Darling], because it is our first opportunity to work with a site that complements this style home with a tremendous location, topography, and views,” says company spokesperson Christy Stevens. “These homes were designed specifically for this site in order to maximize the natural attributes of the site.”

    Specifically she’s talking about the second and third floors, which boast private outdoor living spaces. And if you just don’t want to walk up three flights of stairs to get to said outdoor living space, you can have an elevator installed.

    On the first floor of these urban dwellings are three-car garages; guest bedrooms, home offices, or media rooms; and more private patios.

    The second floor is the true heart of the home, with the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The third floor includes the owner’s suite and additional bedrooms.

    Floor plans range from 3,488 square feet to 3,638 square feet. Prices start in the mid-$600,000s.

    Are there HOA dues? Yes indeed, and they range from $2,380 to $2,880 per year, depending on lot size. The community has a shared pavilion and two grassy areas.

    Model homes will be open in spring 2016, but you can schedule a tour of homesites now by calling 214-960-4000.

    Vue Las Colinas is going up near the Four Seasons resort and TPC golf course.

    Dallas-Fort Worth ranks among top 25 most livable U.S. metros in 2026

    Dallas-Fort Worth is the most livable metro in Texas for 2026.

    Americans looking for the right place to live with a good balance between location, community, and quality of life can find that right here in Dallas-Fort Worth, according to a national study from RentCafe.

    The North Texas region stood out as the No. 1 most livable metro area in Texas, and the 24th most livable U.S. metro for 2026.

    RentCafe's report analyzed 149 U.S. metro areas across 17 key indicators, including cost of living, income growth rates, "social association" rates, a food index, and others.

    The top three most livable American metros are Washington, D.C. (No. 1); Portland, Maine (No. 2); and Kansas City, Missouri (No. 3).

    Here's how Dallas-Fort Worth performed in the study's three main rankings compared to the rest of the U.S.:

    • No. 28 – Socioeconomics
    • No. 38 – Quality of life
    • No. 52 – Location and community

    According to the findings, more than a third (34.4 percent) of Dallas-Fort Worth's 8.25 million residents are renters, and less than a tenth (9.7 percent) of residents are living in poverty. The city has an unemployment rate of 4.5 percent, and less than half (45.7 percent) of DFW workers report having a "long commute."

    The cost of living in Dallas-Fort Worth is 2 percent lower than the national average, the report said, and residents' income has grown 6 percent over the last five years, though the report doesn't elaborate on what those income figures are.

    Based on a survey from CountyHealthRankings.com, RentCafe says Dallas residents experience about three "physically unhealthy" days on average, and an average of five "mentally unhealthy" days. Only 17.4 percent of DFW residents are reportedly "physically inactive" and 10.6 percent report they are uninsured.

    Overall, 10 more Texas metros earned spots in the report, but they surprisingly all landed outside the top 100 most livable U.S. metros.

    Those other Texas metro areas are:

    • No. 117 – Killeen
    • No. 125 – Corpus Christi
    • No. 127 – Houston
    • No. 130 – Austin
    • No. 134 – Beaumont
    • No. 138 – El Paso
    • No. 145 – Lubbock
    • No. 147 – San Antonio
    • No. 148 – Brownsville
    • No. 149 – McAllen
